Very proud to join people there this morning and demand an answer to the question... "where's the money gone?"

Even one of the guys removing it expressed his anger, stating that as both his children had been born there and it being a very much needed hospital, he thought it wrong that the investment had been stolen away.

A shame we were informed the banner would be removed at 9am when they actually took it down at 8- sneaky to the last!

We fight on.

It is very telling that neither of the Lib Dem MPs, whose job it is to represent the people of the Borough of Sutton and who both fought their election campaigns in 2010 on the pledge to secure the future of St Helier, were not there. Neighbouring Labour MP Siobhain McDonagh was.

It is also notable that the only Councillor from Sutton Council who attended was Labour's Cllr John Keys.

I think thr local Lib Dems have shown us that they are not interested in fighying for our hospital through their absence this weekend.

We await to see whether our two Sutton MPs vote to protect St. Helier Hospital by not supporting Jeremy Runt's Hospital Closure Clause that will enable the government to close hospitals more easily at their whim while disempowering further anyone who disagrees. I for one won't be surprised if they continue to back the government rather than their constituents and patients.

Anyone know how much the misleading banner cost from patient care funds to manufacture, put up, and now remove. You can bet whoever pur it up will be keeping a low profile, keeping their anonymity and keeping the amount of the money wasted under wraps. Today's NHS is as transparent as a brick wall. We still don't know why one of the former chief executives of the Trust was pushed out of her office and paid off in great haste. More like KGB than NHS..

Sadly Michael we know that both Brake and Burstow back the Hospital Closure Clause, despite local Labour's petition gathering over 1000 names before we presented it to Mr Brake on Monday. If they vote for it they will be betraying constituents, breaking their pledge to fight for the hospital and putting their position over people. Worse, they will putting our hospital at ever greater risk- talk about hypocrisy.

An adjournment debate in Parliament has been secured for 10 March to debate the redevelopment of St Helier Hospital.

Was it Tom Brake, in whose constituency the hospital sits, that secured it? Was it heck. Step forward Mitcham & Morden's Siobhain McDonagh, who's done more in a single weekend to fight for our hospital than Brake has in three years.

Time people saw through his claims once and for all.
